Gudiya Festival

Gudiya Festival is mainly observed in Shravan month mainly
in rural areas in Uttar Pradesh. Gudiya festival 2017 date is July 27. On the
same day Nag Panchami festival is also organized.

As part of the Gudiya Festival, children beat up cloth-made
dolls. But this practice has been stopped as it indirectly cultivated violence
against women. Today in many regions, baby dolls are kept on swings and people
swing it. Women sing folk songs and
apply mehndi on hands.
